  1. Sorry Rex, I should have been more specific in my description. 🙄 I am looking for the passenger side INTERIOR door decal - wood grain with the Snake emblem.
  2. Good morning everyone. I am in desperate need of the door panel decal (specifically, the passenger side) for the 2013 Revell '69 Shelby GT500 Convertible. I carelessly mishandled mine. Tschuss!
  3. This kit was from 1988. Molded in yellow. Fought like hell to keep the yellow from bleeding through the white interior. The decals from that time were absolute garbage and didn't react well to MicroScale solvents. In addition the carrier portion of the decals was excessive. The gold striping decals from the kit were so transluscent that I removed them and stole the gold stripes from a 2013 Shelby GT-500 Convertible kit. The paint is factory matched from expresspaints.com.
  4. Excellent work and presentation! I love the color. Off the wall question: What surface is the model sitting on? Doesn't seem to be a mirror, as there aren't the moire pattern images in the reflection.
  5. Nicely done kit, except the blue stripe decals were a nightmare to get to conform to the hood scoop.
  6. Finished this up in January. The car was from the old "Mustang Muscle Trio" kit, and the decals came from the Revell '70 Mustang Mach I Special Edition kit.
  7. This was obviously a WIP but I liked the lighting and the colors...
  8. Simply awesome! Are the gas pumps scratch built?
  9. "Whether 'tis nobler to in the mind to...." Oh, never mind.... 1970 issue Aurora 1964 Ferrari GTO ebay score. I am assuming it is not nearly as valuable as it could be since it has not box and the parts are off of the sprue.
  10. Thank you so much for all the input, guys. The information has been really helpful. I realize too, that this info will help me with my pearl clear coats as well. Thanks again!
  11. Thanks for the input guys. I really appreciate it. I will slow down next time and work in thinner coats.
  12. Greetings from Colorful Colorado! I have been experiencing an issue lately with candies and transparent paints. I have even found evidence of my issue in fine (thin?) solid colors as well(I think the latest was an opaque red from Tamyia shake and shoot). Here it is - when I am shooting the candies and transparents, I am experiencing a problem with the pigments receding from panel edges and peaks. I have even experienced this with some pearls. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, AND if this has already been addressed somewhere else, a road map would be appreciated as well! Thanks in advance, Russ
